Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Bobby Susser

     1. The children may join in and sing the line “It’s too hot for that”, or they may sing the entire song.
     2. If the setting is appropriate and safe, the child/children may dance to the song.
     3. The parent/teacher may ask the child/ children to name his/her/their favorite article of summer clothing when the weather gets hot.
     4. The parent/teacher may ask the child/children to draw a picture of a summer setting and if possible, further express his/her/their personal feelings by naming it.

I don’t need my coat
I don’t need my coat
It’s too hot for that
It’s too hot for that
It’s too hot for that today
It’s too hot for that today

I don’t need my gloves
I don’t need my gloves
It’s too hot for that
It’s too hot for that
It’s too hot for that today
It’s too hot for that today
I don’t need my sweater
I don’t need my sweater
It’s too hot for that
It’s too hot for that
It’s too hot for that today
It’s too hot for that today

I don’t need my winter clothes
I don’t need my winter clothes
It’s too hot for that
It’s too hot for that
It’s too hot for that today
It’s too hot for that today

It’s too hot for that
It’s too hot for that
It’s too hot for that today
It’s too hot for that today
